Astrology; Symbolism of numbers
=--s--=The right operation of the law of Rejection or Discard
will also bring about a new and better state of Morality, the
Morality from within. Great men and women have not become so
because they were total abstainers from things immoral, but
because they controlled their emotions and subverted their
personal feelings to the great object in hand, their life's
mission. They being superior to the call of self, were neither
moral nor immoral, but Unmoral, that is, they had perfect
freedom, coupled with superb control, without supression. So they
proved that ALL Honor must come from the Honor within, the Honor
of the Spirit.
=--t--=Proceeding from the I AM center downward, in space 6, we
find in the second circle the symbols for Libra [Symbol: Libra]
and Venus [Symbol: Venus]. Libra [Symbol: Libra], the Scales in
astrological understanding, is a fit symbol for Transmutation,
the sixth Principle of Creation, in that through Transmutation
things come to a balance. Strife ceases. The struggles are
Transmuted to success; the house becomes a tranquil home; the
idea through travail and long struggle to express, becomes the
great ideal. Venus [Symbol: Venus], the planet of love and art,
is the balance of life and the great transmuting force in the
world.
=--u--=This struggle leading to tranquility; the long nights of
doubt and planning leading to success, is typical of the Divinity
of Parenthood (6) whether of brain children or of physical
offspring. Transmutation always leads to Glory, when its agonies
are over.
=--v--=In the second circle from the I AM center, in the 7 space,
we find the symbols for Aries [Symbol: Aries], sign of the Head
and the First Fire Sign; and of Mars [Symbol: Mars], planet of
Force, Energy, Combat and Sex.
=--w--=Spirituality is perceived and expressed to the largest
extent through the use of the head, in both the brain and the
tongue. The force and energy of a highly Spiritual person are
indicated by the planet Mars [Symbol: Mars] here also.
=--x--=It is noticeable that the highest spiritual thoughts are
directly or indirectly connected with sex. All religions have had
a basis of it, from the most ancient to the most modern. This has
furnished the theme for many opposers of religion and unbelievers
who would make a great evil of religion on the ground that it
includes sex.
=--y--=To neutralize this it is useless to fight it. Resist not
the so-called evil, but take the ground that Nothing is evil in
the temple of the living God, "which Temple ye ARE." "Your BODY
IS the Temple of the living God," and no part or function or
appetite of that Temple is evil. Sex is a divine institution. So
are water and fire. And either one of the three will destroy you
if wrongly applied. Yet each of them promotes and causes life. It
is the MISUSE of the functions of the body that destroys us, not
the function as such. (See Paul's wonderful expositions of this
truth in 1 Cor. 3:16 and 17; 6:19 and 20; 7:34 and 36. 2 Cor.
6:16.)
